Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 89. Berry Math? Changes in the Vault!

The new berries she unlocked were something Liu Shu was delighted to see. Now, she needed to use her usual calculations to see how many she could grow while funneling energy to accelerate their growth. After all, it was just 10% of the initial cost to give them 50 days of growth.

So, if she divided the days and took into account the amount of growth needed, she could calculate the net spending of each of the berries. 'Hm... So, if I did the calculations right... I have experience berries and recovery berries costing 120 Aether Mana Shards and Anima Energy Shards. Then, the breakthrough berry would cost me a total of... 31,000 Aether Mana and Anima Energy. Finally, the new berries would cost 1,950 each.'

Liu Shu was thoughtful. 'Then, the days needed to grow them are 2 days for the first kind, 12 days for the breakthrough berries, and 3 days for the new berries. Dividing them by the days they take, I can calculate how much daily energy spending I need for them... Right?'

Liu Shu did the calculations in an efficient and swift manner, showing incredible number control. 'My common berries cost 60/day, the new berries cost 650/day, and the breakthrough berry costs 2583.3/day for each I grow.'

Finally, the World Tree calculated how much Aether Mana she could produce daily. 'I can produce 261 an hour, which makes for a total of 6,264 Aether Mana Shards a day.'

Her mind spun with many combinations of growth, something she didn't do in the past. 'So, doing the math, if I grow one breakthrough berry and one of each of the new berries at the same time, I have around 1,080 Aether Mana Shards left.'

Liu Shu couldn't help but think that it was a nice chunk. 'How much does maintaining my <Enchanted Growth> costs me?'

Releasing her aura, the World Tree used her sharp senses to calculate how much she needed. 'Around 400 Aether Mana Shards?' Liu Shu's senses tried to pick up every single sensation while calculating and specifying the number more. 'No, it's closer to 350... Between 340 and 380, actually.'

Finally, she reached a conclusion. 'So, I have around 700 Aether Mana left? That is enough for... three berries for all four common berries?'

Liu Shu got excited and smiled. 'So, I can constantly produce 3 <Delicious Berry>, 3 <Phoer Berry>, 3 <Mana Berry>, 3 <Energy Berry>, 1 <Breakthrough Berry>, 1 <Resonant Berry>, 1 <Refinement Berry>, 1 <Affinity Berry>, and 1 <Palace Berry>!'

Liu Shu giggled. 'Nice, nice! Also, also, if I calculate the yield for every 12 days, I earn... Oh! Not bad at all! 18 <Delicious Berry>, 18 <Phoer Berry>, 18 <Mana Berry>, 18 <Energy Berry>, 1 <Breakthrough Berry>, 4 <Resonant Berry>, 4 <Refinement Berry>, 4 <Affinity Berry>, and 4 <Palace Berry>. Moreover, all of them are the Low-Level kind!'

Liu Shu's branches gently danced in happiness. 'I can produce all my berries and keep up with the <Enchanted Growth>! Hehehe. I am a fruitful tree! Everyone will like me more because I give them fruits, and they will be happy!'

With those thoughts sorted out, she finally decided to open her <World Tree Eye> to see her surroundings and her own body's growth. While with her tree vision, she could more or less tell her height, for non-energy dependent details like height, color, etc, the <World Tree Eye> was much better.

Her soul and mind started processing all the information, and soon, a 360-degree vision of her surroundings appeared in her mind. The sight that would make a human feel dizzy was comfortable for Liu Shu, who had only seen in this manner since birth.

The first thing she did was look at herself. 'Big!'

Her height from the surface to the top of her canopy had been constantly developing, currently reaching around 12 meters in height. Moreover, she could distinguish a slightly clearer female shape in her own trunk. 'Hehe, I'm getting prettier and bigger!'
